Description

Please enquire for video walkthrough! Nestled on a tranquil, tree-lined street, apartment 6C is a charming two-bedroom, two-bath residence in a picturesque elevator co-op building. Located on the top floor, this intimate co-op offers both north and south exposures, bathing the home in abundant sunlight throughout the afternoon. Its interior-facing position ensures a quiet and serene living environment. With ceiling heights measuring approximately nine-and-a-half feet, anchored by hardwood flooring throughout, the home feels open and airy. The entry hall, complete with a large coat closet, provides a warm welcome into the home. The living and dining rooms are currently separated by a plywood-reinforced wall, providing both division and additional space for art display. This wall can easily be removed for those who prefer an open-plan layout, or it can remain to maintain separation or even create an additional bedroom area. The primary suite is spacious, featuring two large closets and overhead storage. The en-suite windowed bath boasts a vintage design with dual sinks and a separate soaking tub. The second bedroom offers excellent storage and also includes a windowed en-suite marble bath with soaking tub. The windowed kitchen maximizes vertical space with cabinetry that offers ample storage and functionality, continuing the vintage theme with a mix of wood and glass. It is equipped with a dishwasher, stainless steel refrigerator, and in-unit washer and dryer. Situated on East 87th Street between Park and Madison Avenues, this location is truly unparalleled. With Morton Williams market on the corner and Central Park just a block away, convenience is at your doorstep. The area is rich with countless shops, restaurants, and museums, all within easy walking distance. For commuting, the 4, 5, and 6 trains, along with the crosstown bus, are conveniently located on 86th Street. This Beaux Arts style pre-war elevator co-op building, completed in 1923, offers an intimate living experience with just 33 residences spread across six stories. While the building does not have a doorman, it is pet-friendly, allowing both dogs and cats with Board approval. Residents can enjoy a planted courtyard garden along with bike and laundry rooms. Additionally, the apartment includes a sublevel storage closet, providing extra convenience and space. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to make residence 6C your own.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
